Prince Hotels has been offering a special accommodation package called After 4 Plan at its resort hotels near Tokyo. The plan is aimed at workers who may be finishing work earlier than usual, as companies in Japan look at ways to conserve energy this summer.
The package is offered at the Prince resorts in neighboring Kanagawa Prefecture, in places such as Hakone, Kamakura, Lake Ashinoko and Oiso, for guests to take a short trip, especially on weekends, leaving Tokyo early on a Friday evening.
Of note is the package at the Kamakura Prince Hotel, which can be reached by train in just over an hour from Tokyo Station. The plan includes a complimentary ticket to a golf driving range in the seaside area of Shichirigahama, a map of jogging routes around the hotel, breakfast and late checkout at 1 p.m. The special plan is available from ¥10,000 per person, per night, for double occupancy.
